Up for sale is a beautiful, bright, and authentic vintage 1940s quilt top featuring a wonderful variation of the traditional Flying Geese pattern. This striking piece utilizes a cheerful, solid marigold/buttercup yellow cotton fabric for the large framing blocks and borders, heavily accented with intricate rows of pieced triangles.
The triangles showcase an incredible time-capsule variety of mid-century domestic textiles: classic polka dots, multi-colored ditsy florals, calico prints, stripes, and novelty scrap patterns. It is an amazing example of resourceful, era-specific utility quilting. I see no machine stitching, looks to be to the best of my knowledge completly had stitchedDimensions

Condition & Craftsmanship
